Good Old Games has made the classic SimTex games Master of Orion,
Master of Orion 2 and Master of Magic available for low, low prices. So
Troy, Tom, Bruce and Rob spend an hour talking about what made SimTex
special. What do we mean by personality in strategy games? Does the UI
hold up? Which of these games has aged the most poorly? When is tactical
combat an impediment in a turn based 4x game?

We answer these questions and more in this new analysis of classic
game design.
